public safety

Urbanization has created pressure on cities to seek innovative, streamlined solutions to ensure citizens are safe—whether it be crime detection and mapping, policing, emergency response infrastructure, disaster early warning systems, managing traffic, smart surveillance, home security, or building and bridge infrastructure. Being able to manage these complex systems and ensure decisions are driven by real-time data has become essential in smart urban design. Digital tools and technologies have the potential to revolutionize how cities address public safety challenges and deploy resources and personnel in the most efficient way, helping avert disasters and save lives.
